Shannon at Futon Revolutionary tips us to Martha’s Monthly, an effort by South Alberta feminists to raise awareness and put pressure on the Klein government on a variety of issues affecting women.
Every month brings a new Martha’s Monthly, an e-mail backgrounder that ends with a call to action. The name is a wink at Klein’s “Marthas and Henrys” – his expression for describing ordinary Albertans.
You can subscribe by e-mailing marthasmonthly@yahoo.ca.
What I love about this, apart from the goals, the content and the people involved, is the fact that it’s so simple. If you think online advocacy has to mean a huge, feature-stuffed web presence staffed by a small army of geeks and wonks, check out what Martha’s doing with just a monthly e-mail message.
